Last year marked the 25th anniversary of the first Smoke Inn premium cigar store, and Drew Estate and Smoke Inn\u2019s owner, Abe Dababneh, are celebrating the landmark achievement with the launch of a special commemorative Herrera Estel\u00ed cigar honoring Abe\u2019s father and mentor, Raji Dababneh.<\/p>\n
The Herrera Estel\u00ed Miami Smoke Inn 25th Anniversary Raji (6 x 50, Toro) is a limited-edition cigar that is produced at El Titan De Bronze, the Little Havana boutique cigar factory that\u2019s owned by Drew Estate Master Blender Willy Herrera\u2019s family and where Herrera Estel\u00ed Miami cigars are made. Constructed using a Mexican San Andres wrapper, Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic, the Herrera Estel\u00ed Miami Smoke Inn 25th Anniversary Raji is a spicy medium- to full-bodied cigar with hay and floral notes.<\/p>\n
Every Herrera Estel\u00ed Miami Smoke Inn 25th Anniversary Raji cigar features a commemorative band around its foot, and the cigars are packaged in 10-count boxes that are adorned with the Smoke Inn logo. Ramping up the celebration and honoring Raji Dababneh even more, Raji\u2019s signature is emblazoned on the bottom of every box.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I was growing up in Chicago, I watched my dad work tirelessly at the little grocery store he owned,\u201d says Abe. \u201cHe always put in whatever it took to overcome any challenges and keep a roof over our heads and food on our table. He is a true inspiration for me as a businessman, husband and as a father. I learned, and continue to learn, so much from him. Dedicating our 25th anniversary cigar to him is the best way for me to give my heartfelt thanks to him for all that he has done for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Founder and President of Drew Estate, Jonathan Drew adds, \u201cAbe and I have been close friends from very early on, and he has always been a true \u2018stand and deliver\u2019 guy who deserves tremendous success. His father, Raji, clearly has been a great mentor and teacher. It\u2019s an honor to pay tribute to Raji, as well as celebrate Smoke Inn\u2019s 25th anniversary with this majestic Herrera Estel\u00ed Miami expression.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Herrera Estel\u00ed Miami Smoke Inn 25th Anniversary Raji will debut at Smoke Inn\u2019s 25th Anniversary party on May 6 from 6 to 9 p.m. atop the Tru By Hilton Pompano Beach hotel.
